Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Highly Entertaining
Review: This is Jackie Chan's take on Indiana Jones. It has lots of martial arts action, comedy, mystery, and a pretty good story (for a martial arts film). Lots of fun.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: much better than the first
Review: This is much better than the first armour of god. he has not got his funny partner any more but this is too good funny comedy great action one of his best on golden harvest

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of Chan's best.
Review: This is one of my top 5 Chan films--it absolutley hilarious, the stunts are incredible as always, and Chan is the greatest physical perfomer on the screen. It's the little touches that just boggle my mind, like his spin-hop over a gate early in the film. I took years of martial arts, and I could never do what Chan does, even ignoring his expression, timing, and energy.

Oh yeah, and there's three really cute girls in it.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lots of Fun!
Review: This movie is a very intentional Indianna Jones parody, and I think it's very funny. But it does contain some nudity and sexual innuendo, which is unusual for a Jackie Chan movie. It's also better than its "prequel" Operation Condor part 2 (I gave that movie 5 stars, but in retrospect I think I would only give it 4). By the way, anyone who enjoys Jackie Chan should go to their local library and check out some Buster Keaton movies. I recommend "Sherlock Jr." which Buster broke his neck making, and "Our Hospitality" which he very nearly drowned making, among others. Buster's stuntwork and athleticism remain unsurpassed, even by Jackie Chan! "The General" is also excellent.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Jackie at his best
Review: This movie was much better then Armor of the Gods. It was filled with mad action from start to finish. The wind tunnel and whole warehouse action scene is some of the best fight scenes he has ever done.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ah, Awesome Movie! Better than the Other OC Movie
Review: This was both the first Jackie Chan I saw, and owned for the VHS, and as such, this is one of my all time favorite Jackie Chan films. It's a simple story about Chan and two very hot women (later on, a third one joins!) who are sent to Africa to find an old Nazi gold base and get the gold out before the European nations begin to quarrel over it. What they are not told (but Chan finds out really quickly) is that there are a few other small factions of criminals after it also.

The movie opens with a great Indiana Jones parody, which is more than enough to get you used to Jackie Chan's character. The other characters are either comic support, or stuntmen in which a few can act well enough to say a few lines before they get beaten up in some of Jackie's coolest action ever.

This movie quite possibly contains more action than any other Chan movie, as every scene is either a fight scene or a setup for one. It is high charged, whitty and fast; hey, it was written, directed and co-produced by Jackie Chan himself! Now with the DVD version, you can see more via widescreen, and the added detail really adds to both the picture and intensity, for there were badguys standing next to Jackie when he was beating up one of their mates that you can't see on the VHS version. If you want cool, fast or funny action, get this movie; hell, it's all three! Trust me, it's great.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Stick with import
Review: Why American production make HK movies look so cheap? First of all, they cut off so much scene, second of all ruin it by making look acting so dumb by English Dubb. For ANY of HK movies, ALWAYS stick with ORIGINAL LICENSED HK RELEASE. Be careful with cheap imports, boots though.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: What is going on?
Review: WHY DOES AMERICA KEEP CHANGING THE TITLES OF CHAN MOVIES? this film is supposed to be called Operation Condor:Armour of god 2. This film is pretty good, though perhaps in an effort to get into Hollywood, Chan has used one to many special effects and he is dwarfed somewhat.This film is also cheesier than usual, amazing fights but. NOT AS GOOD AS THE ORIGINAL; armour of god.
